A leading global quantitative trading firm is looking for experienced developers to join their team. The firm is known for their success across the globe in options-market making, their technology-focused business, and their amazing company culture.

This candidate will need to write high-performance code in C++, C#, or Java.

Qualifications:

3+ years of professional experience as a software developer/engineer

Bachelors/Masters degree in computer science or a related field

Hands on experience in C++, C#, or Java
